About Me

I am dedicated to supporting people through life’s challenges with compassion and understanding.

My goal is to create a safe and welcoming space where clients feel comfortable sharing their experiences, knowing they will be met with respect, empathy, and care.

My Therapeutic Approach

My approach to therapy is collaborative and client-centered. I draw from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness techniques.

By tailoring each session to meet your unique needs, I work with you to build practical tools, develop new perspectives, and foster lasting change in your life.

Areas of Specialization:

I provide counselling for individuals, couples, and families, with a focus on:

-Anxiety, depression, and stress

-Relationship and family challenges

-Grief and loss

-Life transitions and personal growth

-Coping with chronic illness or pain

-Building resilience and self-confidence

When Not At Work:

Outside of counselling, I enjoy staying active by hiking and cycling, as well as spending quiet time reading or cooking. I also value time with family and friends, which helps me stay balanced and energized to support my clients.
